They get their butt kicked in NASCAR by Chevy and Dodge.
They got laughed out of Formula-One.

We all _know_ their cars are second-rate junk. Why do they feel compelled to spend money on auto racing to prove what everyone already knows?

(Please: No flashbacks to the Iacocca years in the '60's. They don't matter anymore.)

It's a 2001, i was afraid that it might not be that simple to fix! So where is the fuse located? I never use cruise, so i guess we can just disable it!!

Battery is new with probably only 10 miles or so on it. But hasn't been driven in several months. Now won't start. Husband has Alzheimers & can't remember the settings for charger. It is hooked up but I don't know whether it should be at 12v 2 amp or 12 v 6 amp. Thanks so much

My mother is actually purchasing the car so I can get the best apr, and she's been gung ho about it for months, until now. The dealer brought in for me from a different state w/no charge, its cleaned and waiting for me to pick it up, but my mother is now "on a business trip" and not available. I've spoke with her and she claims to be just "too busy" to take 5 minutes to do the online credit app. I put $500 down on the car so they would hold it for me, but the car is in extremely high demand, and could be sold in a day if it were made available. Also, because of the 2007's coming within the next couple of weeks, to find another car like mine would be next to impossible. I know for a fact that there isn't another one like it for sale in six states around me. Im just nervous that this might take a few more days, and I dont want to lose the car. Thanks.

I live in CT and purchased a car from a NY state dealer. Since I purcahsed the car after the DMV was closed for the day, the dealer told me they would have to overnight me the title by mail.

Was it a wise decision to purchase the car from them without giving me the title directly as I gave them the money (check)?

I have:

The car
Bill of sale
Odometer reading statement
New York State "In-Transit" registration
Insurance card (car is insured by me)

I'm not doubting that the dealer will send me the title, but I am just preparing for the worse (they don't send me the title). Am I the rightful owner? Was it wise to do this? Is this standard practice?

After 30 days the temp registration is up and I can't even drive the car anymore! I need the title in order to register the car in CT!

traction bars, they are on both sides and connect around the rear portion of the cab area on a cross frame. They extend back to the rear axle and are bolted on. It looks factory original, but I have never seen anything like this from the factory. Is this some type of strengthing for the frame, or are they ladders bars?

Does the 2000 Honda Civic have a light for the check engine? Mine looks more like a piece of paper than a light, and is barely luminated at night. I need to know if this is normal for civics. Also, the light (paper) was red for an O2 sensor, but when I got some maintainance (belts) done, it turned green, but the OBD sensor still reads the faulty O2 sensor. Any ideas? Also, when I have the car in drive and on the brake (at a stoplight or in an intersection) for more than about 5 sec, the car starts rattling. I just put new shoes, pads, and resurfaced the rotors. Again, any ideas? If you can answer either question, please help me out. Thanks.

how long does the car buying process usually take once you decide on the car you want and they submit the paperwork to the finance company? also, can you be rejected for financing even if you have a co-signer with excellent credit?

I need brakes for all four wheels. The dealer told me they were 60% worn almost 2 years ago. I don't want to be robed by another mechanic just because I'm a female. I was once charged $52 for wipers when I only should have paid around $7.
